At first glance I would have said it's pregnant but based on the fact the first spikes of the dorsal fin are pretty prominent and that there aren't any blue spots on the black spot, that would make me think it's a male. But the slant of the forehead is not round at all which is indicative of a male, so there is a pretty good chance you have a pregnant female on your hands. Make sure there is some java moss in the tank for the fry.

Do they get along well? Their behavior towards each other can provide some insight to whether they are a pair or not. One of the fish is almost definitely a male, but the fat one is dubious. It's got dorsal fin extensions typical of a male but the coloring, nose profile of a female. If they get along well I would just say that you've simply got a female with some masculine features.

Sorry to hear of your loss, like previously said the male will do fine by himself but I assume you were excited about those eggs and would like them to breed, you should get another female and try again :]
